    Help. Keys in trunk.

    There is always a spare key+fob pair stored in an accessible location on my Viper at all times for such moments. One of these day's I'll forget where they are I'm afraid!

    Watch out for the new E15 gasoline.

    I was never one to put mystery fuel additives in my tank:nono:, but last week I started using Startron based on tips from some its fairly loyal following among boaters who really have to worry about E10/E15 when no other option is available. Don't know if it works:pigsfly:, but am trying it out.

    Check Your Clutch Master

    Has anyone replaced their master cylinder? My shop guy told me the Alldata estimate for that job is more than the slave.

    Check Your Clutch Master

    It was a chore and wound up paying more for the tow. The front wheel looks lower than actual since it's sitting up on a board.

    Check Your Clutch Master

    Are you sure it's not the master? Check behind the carpet for wetness. With only 22K on your car (assuming it's been babied), your friction disk has a lot of life left. I considered doing it with my 12,500 mile clutch, but chose not to based on shop recommendations.

    In need of a mechanic. Tampa Bay. #slave cylinder

    Look for an old school muscle car shop. The T56 gearbox is a common item for such shops. Expect about 3 to 4 hours labor at up to $100/hr. The slave is around $280. Good luck.

    Steve Prescott's Lowered Coilover Setup on an '01 RT/10

    Thank you. Initial impressions are a more compliant ride over the stock Koni's. Well known road dips that previously would jar me now are smoothed out. Will probably wind up with the damping/rebound settings closer to max when it is all said and done. I haven't driven one with Moton's, so I...

    Steve Prescott's Lowered Coilover Setup on an '01 RT/10

    Thanks. No problems getting up the ramps because my shop was prepared with an assortment of boards (be sure to confirm this with your shop). Mine pulled out their big dog 2x12's (each 12 feet long) and a variety of 2x4s to walk it up the Hunter machine. They also had to unbolt the front wheel...

    Viper got hurt today

    First, glad you are ok. Hope you are in another Viper sooner than you expect!

    Check Your Clutch Master

    I changed the fluid when I got the car 2 years ago. However, I assume the factory fill was in there up til then. My point is you have to watch the reservoir to know when the slave is failing.

    Steve Prescott's Lowered Coilover Setup on an '01 RT/10

    Finally done with the heavy lifting on this project with some tweaking to come as the springs settle in. :DFender arch heights are nominal 26 inches front and 28 rear sitting on 19 inch wheels/Invo's at all corners. Pretty low I would say but am able to cross the street gutter to my driveway...

    Check Your Clutch Master

    OK I deserved it I guess since I don't check under the hood much between annual oil services. Was heading out to the alignment shop when I lost most of the clutch pedal. Got back home and had a flatbed take it to my shop. R&R'd the clutch slave and weeping tail piece seal and was back in...

    Race Ramps

    If you've lowered your car, the ramps may not work even with the separate extended ramp attachments. That's my recent experience. Otherwise, these are great lightweight ramps (as they should be for what they cost).

    PICS - GEN 1 with Vipair Coilovers!

    What a great stance you have there . . . what are the center fender arch heights on all corners?

    "where's the oil ?"

    That's the dry spec; my experience has been there is about a half quart that doesn't drain, so the refill takes 9.5 quarts. Go by the dipstick.

    New coilovers hitting the streets

    I'm still adjusting mine to reduce scraping coming in my driveway at an angle. I can't imagine tackling a speed bump. I think a clearance less than a 2 inches below the lip of the front facia is troublesome. Must be mindful not to put your oil pan in harm's way. :omg: If you have to park the...

    New coilovers hitting the streets

    Finally have Steve Prescott's lowered coilovers on; the poor photos don't reflect my excitement to finally have this done! The pics show the out-of-the-box stance that I'm adjusting for a 26 inch rise on the fronts and 28 on the rears (measured from the floor to the fender arch). The rear is way...

    Torque specs for coilovers ???

    Alright did 120 lb-ft today and all is well. Must say it was suspenseful though . . . will the wrench click before the bolt snaps?
